This stream of comments from people who, for reasons I can't quite 
fathom, but I like to give them the benefit of the doubt and figure that 
they really don't know how provincial they're being, figure that 
everything is *just*like*it*is*in*their*country*of*residence* is really 
becoming quite tedious.  Could we please stop it?

Face it folks, despite global commerce and a heap of treaties, the 
low-level mechanics of how banking, the courts, notarizing documents, 
applying for patents, registering copyrights, etc., etc., etc. work vary 
from country to country, sometimes rather wildly.
